LNY's Sizing Guide

sizing_bathroom

Bathroom

Fixtures above the vanity should be at least 24" wide and the center should be mounted 75"-80" from the floor.

Sconces flanking the vanity allow light to be evenly distributed across your face. The fixtures should be mounted at eye level, approximately 36"-40" apart.

Mini chandeliers add sparkle to your space if you have a bathroom nook or high powder room ceilings.

sizing_bedroom

Bedroom

Overhead lighting such as a central flush, semi-flush mount or chandelier will allow for the general illumination of a room.

Task and ambient lighting such as bedside sconces, make for easy reading. They also bounce light off the walls, lending a softer mood and provide a more spacious feeling.

sizing_dining_room

Dining Room

To size a fixture over a dining table, measure the length and width of the room or dining space and add those figures together. The sum converted to inches will equal the right sized chandelier.

• EXAMPLE: 14' + 20' = 34'

34' when converted to inches is 34" diameter chandelier. Therefore, the bottom of the chandelier should sit approximately 32"-34" above the table top.

sizing_foyer

Foyer Or Entryway

When determining what type of fixture to hang in your foyer, be advised that the bottom of the fixture should be at least 7' from the floor. If there is a window above the door in a two-story foyer, center the fixture so it can be seen from outside.

Sconces add a layer of light in a large foyer. They should be installed 60" from the floor and approximately 6'-8' apart.

sizing_kitchen

Kitchen

A group of pendants is ideal for islands and breakfast bars, with smaller fixtures generally hung in odd numbers, and larger pendants in pairs.

Keep in mind that the pendants should not prohibit those standing around the island from seeing one another. Every space is different so heights will vary, but pendants should typically be hung with the bottom of the fixture 28" - 34" from the countertop.

sizing_outdoor

Outdoor

The length of one lantern should measure about 1/3 the height of your door.

The length of two lanterns should measure about 1/4 the height of the door.

In all cases, the center of the light source should rest approximately 66" above the threshold.
